Hairstyle How To : Messy waves with Side Stringed Braid
The beach waves
For a messy wavy look, a heat treatment is not necessary. And we love the non-invasive method of braiding for this look.
- Dampen or wet your hair.
- Divide your hair in three parts and start to braid them tightly.
- Fasten with a rubber band.
- Let the hair dry while braided.
Hairstyle – Messy waves with Side Stringed Braid
- Open when dry and run fingers through them, to mess the waves a little.
- You can tease certain areas lightly too, in order for a messier look.
- With a rat tail comb, do an extreme side part, and move the majority of your hair to one side of the shoulder.
Tip: Plan ahead when using this method. Hair takes longer to dry when braided tightly. Hence using this method a day or night in advance is suggested.
The Braid

- Take two grey strings/ threads and fold them in half. The length of it folded half should atleast be as long as your hair strands to be braided. For a more dramatic look, use a longer thread.
- Choose a thin bunch of hair. Bring the thread close to scalp, and pass the hair through the two halves.
- Repeat for the second thread too.
- Separate your hair into three parts. Out of the three, add the two threads to one part of hair each.
- Braid single time and then separate out the threads to one side.
- Braid the rest of the hair as usual and secure with a rubber band.
- Now take the threads in your hand and criss cross your way down tightly.
- As you are approaching the end, tie one of the threads on the braid.
- Tie the other thread a little below the last one.
